With the announcement that there
Is a probability of a straight reduc
tion of 20 per cent in Insurance rates
In La Grande, the efficient work of
the La Grande volunteer fire depart
ment must be given credit , for no
small factor in the bringing about of
these results. Our fire department
has a record that Is without precedent.
Jfot a single fire has ever reached that
point where It was beyond control of
our fire laddies. The loss by fire has
been much less In La Grande than In
any other town In casern Oregon
within the past 10 .years. Think this
over and then take off your hat to our
loyal five fighters.

This Irrigation project may mean n
sewerage system for La Grande.
There Is much of a practical nature In
the suggestion of Mr. Bohnenkamp
that the ditches running through the
, city might be so diverted that it would
furnish a wwerago pystem to the city
and at the am time act as a fertiliza
tion to the farm receiving the water

easily be secured. This large area can
all be covered at the lowest possible
cost In way of ditch construction. On
the south side of the river the ditch
ing Is also a simple matter and the
land to be Irrigated lies almost with
out exception In a contiguous body
after reaching a point two miles eant
of town, and this acreage will be In
creased. A number of people are tak
lng stock as a speculation, by subscrib
ing for 100 to 600 acres, who do not
own land. They will provide security
that will be acceptable and later will
either buy land adjacent to the project
r sell to those who may need water.
The Logan-Sherwood Realty com
pany, real estate dealers, yesterday
took 500 acres, equivalent to $1000,
and others have signified their Inten
tion of doing the same.
Every effort of the club and citi
zens generally from now on will be to
have a successful meeting on the 16th,
when It Is hoped that the entire mat
ter will be, transformed from a theory
to a condition. With water Frultdale
can be extended many miles on the
north side of the river, and with water
the 10,000 acres on the south will he
as thickly populated as the most
lemu ly settled part of tho ralley I Jt
present.
There Is no doubt whatever aboiM
thi practicability of the entire enter
prise. If you have any doubts, ta.k
with any dozen or more of the large
land owners who are subscribing larg
acreages themselves, and are enthusi
astically working among their neigh
bors.
Everv citizen In La Grande, bust
ness man or property owner should
talk of the advantages of the projec
upon all occasions. It means the mak
lng of a city of La Grande.
